床邊故事~ 張韶涵 Angela



This is a MV from Angela's newest album, "Ang 5.o".
It's a nice album, filled with songs that are jut gr8, such as the GZXM theme song she did. But this one has a nice ring to it, calming like a lullaby and cute like a little kid. Especially the first 12 seconds.

04. 床邊故事

作詞:戴蕙心 作曲:戴蕙心 編曲:洪敬堯/謝銘祥

小時候 睡覺前最愛聽床邊 故事
幻想進入那神秘的國度
不要走 別關燈 請再講一個故事
讓它陪我進入夢鄉中

或許我是個海盜 要去尋找那寶藏
或許我是個快樂的美人魚

#每一晚 每一頁 我幻想 都成真
 這就是床邊故事的魔力

*每一晚 每一頁 我可以環遊全世界
 這就是床邊故事的魔力

Repeat all once,#,*,#,*



It's easy to remember becuz it only has one set of lyrics. Which is nice, but sometimes too simple.

Jay Chou's 牛仔很忙 (Jay On The Run)



This is Jay's 2007 album- and I really think this is his best album out of them all. There are so many good songs that really have feelings and songs that just make you plain happy. No matter what type of music you like, you'll find at least some songs you love in this album.

♪IMEEM: What's On Your Playlist?♪




Maybe I've said a couple things about IMEEM- but I sure never did write a full post on it. So here I am, slaving away at the laptop. I have a account on IMEEM-

Hallie's IMEEM Account

And I uploaded some stuff. To tell you the truth, I'm pretty proud of the background design, which I take credit for putting the pictures together and matching the color schemes. Which I LOVE doing! I wish Blogger would open something like a Theme Editor. It would be very very cool! Well, also since I don't really know how to fiddle around with HTML- it's way too complicated. It's for people that have numbers and stuff in their head at all times. Which scares me at times.

Anyways, IMEEM is the coolest music site around- and I've used it a few spare times. It has tons of cool functions. But one drawback- you have to make an account or else all the music will be only 30 seconds. But they don't ask you much in order to make an account. AND you can make up stuff. Like your birthdate. Haha.

轉角*遇到愛 Corner With Love



This might be kinda outta date- Corner* With Love aired some time ago. Like, at the start of 2007. But I watched it around summertime. And now I remembered that I didn't do a review- yet. Yet is the operative word. Haha. Here is DramaWiki's shortened rehash of Corner With Love:

Xin Lei (Barbie Xu), a girl from a wealthy family, and Qin Lang (Alan Luo), a guy who came to Shanghai to pursue his dream of becoming an artist, meet by accident at a corner when her car and his bike crash into each other. They meet again when Xin Lei goes to the restaurant that Qin Lang works at. They truly get to know each other when Xin Lei asks him to teach her how to make oyster pancakes. Then, Xin Lei's parents' company goes bankrupt. Without telling her, Xin Lei's parents go into hiding, leaving only a plane ticket and a key to their house in Taiwan. To make matters worse, Xin Lei's fiance breaks the engagement, due to his parents' wishes. The only two people she has now are Qin Lang and her best friend Xi Xian. Qin Lang then tells her that he is leaving for Taiwan, so they bade farewell. When Xin Lei arrives in Taiwan, she finds out that Qin Lang's family has been living in the house for years! After much controversy, Qin Lang's grandmother finally lets her stay. Thus begins a magical love story.

A magical love story. Oh, how nice! *sarcastic voice*
But whatever. I'm 2 out of energy to write my own version- so wha-la!

P.S. When I finish The First Shop Of Coffee Prince, I'll write a full review- currently on episode 12!

我在159號,讓世界看見你



This is kinda a commercial show from SETTV. I mean, not technically a show, and not really a commercial. It's only a minute or so, but it shows parts from dramas aired in the past year or so. Like, good parts or something. But it's pretty interesting- so take a look!

RELATED EXITS:

Oh right, I want to clear one thing. The Youtube SETTV channel is official- you can see that on the webpage! ^_^

Top 25 Ways To Drive Your Roommate Crazy

This is a funny letter I received in a chain letter...it probably seems cheesy, but it'll make a rainy day seem much more sunnier. ^_^

Top 25 Ways To Drive Your Roommate Crazy

1. Every time you wake up, start yelling, "Oh, my God! Where the
heck am I?!" and run around the room for a few minutes. Then go
back to bed. If your roommate asks, say you don't know what
he/she is talking about.

2. Buy a plant. Sleep with it at night. Talk to it. After a few weeks,
start to argue with it loudly. Then yell, "I can't live in the same
room with you," storm out of the room and slam the door. Get rid
of the plant, but keep the pot. Refuse to discuss the plant ever
again.

3. Buy a Jack-in-the-box. Every day, turn the handle until the
clown pops out. Scream continuously for twenty minutes.

4. Live in the hallway for a month. Afterwards, bring all of your
stuff back into the room and tell your roommate, "Okay, your
turn."

5. Keep a tarantula in a jar for three days. Then get rid of the
tarantula. If your roommate asks, say, "Oh, he's around here
somewhere."

6. While your roommate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling.
When your roommate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head,
and moan.

7. Punch a hole in the TV Set and watch it anyway, complaining
about the poor picture quality.

8. Collect potatoes. Paint faces on them and give them names.
Name one after your roommate. Separate your roommate's potato
from the others. Wait a few days, and then bake your roommate's
potato and eat it. Explain to your roommate, "He just didn't
belong."

9. Break the window with a rock. If your roommate protests,
explain that you were hot. Open and close the broken window as
your normally would.

10. Move everything to one side of the room. Ask your roommate
if he knows how much an elephant weighs, and look at the floor on
the empty side of the room with concern.

11.When your roommate comes in, pretend that you are on the
phone, screaming angrily and shouting obscenities. After you hang
up, say, "That was your mom. She said she'd call back."

12. Sit in front of a chess board for hours, saying nothing, doing
nothing. Then, look up and say, "I think this game goes a lot faster
with two players."

13. Talk back to your "Rice Krispies." All of a sudden, act
offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to clean it
up, explaining, "No, I want to watch them suffer".

14. Scatter stuffed animals around the room. Put party hats on
them. Play loud music. When your roommate walks in, turn off the
music, take off the party hats, put away the stuffed animals, and
say, "Well, it was fun while it lasted."

15. Unplug everything in the room except for one toaster. Pray to
the toaster. Bring it gifts. Throw some of your roommate's
possessions out the window. Say that the toaster made you do it.

16. Wear your shoes on the wrong feet, all the time. Constantly
complain that your feet hurt.

17. Instead of turning off the light switch, smash the light bulb
with a hammer. Put a new bulb in the next day. Complain often
about the cost of new lightbulbs.

18. Whenever your roommate brushes his/her teeth, watch him/her
do so. Take notes. Write a paper on it, and circulate it around
campus. If Your roommate protests, say, "The people have a right
to know!"

19. Collect potato chips that you think look like famous people.
Find One that looks like your roommate. Burn it, and explain, "It
had to be done."

20. Read the phone book out loud and excitedly. ("Frank Johnson!
Oh, wow! 837-9494! Holy cow!)

21. Buy a watermelon. Draw a face on it and give it a name. Ask
your roommate if the watermelon can sleep in his/her bed. If your
roommate says no, drop the watermelon out the window. Make it
look like a suicide. Say nasty things about your roommate at the
funeral.

22. Hold a raffle, offering your roommate as first prize. If he/she
protests, tell him/her that it's all for charity.

23. Make cue cards for your roommate. Get them out whenever
you'd like to have a conversation.

24. Set up about twenty plants in an organized formation. When
your roommate walks in, pretend to be in the middle of delivering
a speech to the plants. Whisper to them, "We'll continue this later,"
while eyeing your roommate suspiciously.

25. Keep some worms in a shoebox. When doing homework, go
and consult with the worms every so often. Then become angry,
shouting at the worms that they're stupid and they don't know what
they're talking about.

My Lucky Star Drawn Picture


Awwww! So KAWAII!!! But lately I think I've been writing too much about My Lucky Star. Well, don't blame me. I just feel in a very writing-drama-stuff-mood.

換換愛 Why Why Love



Why Why Love. This is a drama I have seen for 3 times already!!!! Except for the ending, the whole drama has earned 5 thumbs up! The ending was too much like Silence. I mean, the director could have ended it at Ep. 12 but he decided to make more money by lagging off the last 3 eps. Which is just horrid. The last couple eps were the ones that made me cry- but no spoilers!!! Here's the description from DramaWiki:

Tong Jia Di needs a life besides work, paying down family debt, and more work. So her best friend Jiang Xiao Nan sneaks in a “Love” coupon in Jia Di’s raffle box praying that the lucky guy who draws it will sweep Jia Di off her feet. As it so happens, Huo Yan, the compassionate manager Jia Di has secret crush on, is the lucky guy. But, tho' the prince can exchange the coupon for Cinderella’s love, it doesn’t mean he will, especially when his devilish younger brother is determined to exchange his “Master/Angel” coupon for her servitude.

Well. I won't say that this synopsis is the best, but it's the best I can get. I mean, DramaWiki is the best drama site there is, and all the info is correct. Still, it sounds cheesy, right? And I don't mean the kind you put on lasagna either. But no more comments!

CAST:

Haha. That's actually a nice cast list. I guess. Like I said before, this drama is so like My Lucky Star.
I mean, the dad and his "affairs." And the personalities. But the director is the same...no creation.

EPISODE RATINGS:

Episode Nationwide
01 2.22
02 2.31
03 3.05
04 3.13
05 3.25
06 3.14
07 2.62
08 2.65

11 3.42
12 3.52
13 3.43
14 3.25
15 3.35
average 3.05

That's pretty good considering there's hundreds of channels to watch. ^_^
Anyways, watch WHY WHY LOVE!!!! It rox!!!!!

❤Happy Heart Day❤





Happy Heart Day! Well, belated heart day. I've decided to put this movie soundtrack by Studio Ghibi. Or something like that. Studio Ghibi also created Totoro, the very famous Japanese animated movie. This movie is called Howl's Moving Castle. It's a love story...which is basically why I put this here. If you haven't seen this b4, then I strongly recommend you to. I mean, it's one of my all-time favorites. It's about a girl named Sophie that becomes cursed by the Witch of the Wastes. And she becomes a old woman. The whole plot is pretty strange, but the animation is just fantastic! I think it was a nominee for the Academy Awards. Some year or another. But it really is the best you can get!!!

My Lucky Star Blended Pics

~My Lucky Star~


This one is particularly pretty. It shows Hana and Jimmy at the first car race.

This one is vintage chic. Kinda like the tags of jeans. ^_^

Wow, it's FishEye!!!

I loved the words: "Faith is part of true love. Thank you for always believing in me." It so fits My Lucky Star!!!

Wow- like compasses and maps. Reminds me of Pirates Of The Caribbean-haha.


Well. That's a lot of pictures. They're all so nicely done! But of course I take no credit at all. The credit goes to...(drum roll)...http:///www.bbs.92wy.com! I'm totally obsessed with My Lucky Star lately. It is probably the best drama ever- except maybe 4 Why Why Love. And about Why Why Love, I just realized that I didn't do a full review. We
ll, that's what is coming next-soon. Lastly, Happy Lunar New Year!

My Lucky Star 放羊的星星



My Lucky Star (放羊的星星) is a taiwan drama that aired in 2007. It's one of the best dramas I have ever seen- definitely a must-see. It's plot is about a girl who goes to jail as a jewelery con-artist. The guy is E.Shine's (a big jewelery company) second master. And of course these big problems happen and everything else. But it's a very touching story and a the end it made me cry- quite a lot. But I won't spoil it for you people. It has a total of 20 episodes and I just finished it- but I wish I didn't so fast. It's been a long time since I had a really good drama to watch. Anyhow, this is the main concept from dramawiki:

Like the boy who cried wolf, Xia Zhi Xing had lied one too many times. So when she did tell the truth, nobody believed her except for the most unlikely person, Zhong Tian Qi, a runaway young master of a jewelry empire. His belief in her inspired her to become a real jewelry designer instead of a lying, scheming jewelry con artist. In the process, she taught him the real value of jewels that he is destined to inherit.

Such a good story! *sniff*

CAST:

WTSYA Videos Eps 1-6



I finally found where they were showing WTSYA- as of right now, they have episodes 1 thru 6. But Tudou might be a little slow. I'd suggest you to wait for it to load b4 you start to watch!

Pure Celebrity Shock !_!



I got the shock of my life when I saw a celeb at the subway station. I totally freaked out becuz I didn't even expect it. I saw Aska Yang!!! He is the guy who made One Million Star(超級星光大道) famous starting from the first season. But now I totally regret I didn't scream his name or something. I mean, how dumb can you get? I guess I just kinda dazed out, I never expected to see him in a subway station! But I'm sure it was him. He was wearing a white track jacket with black stripes and pulling a bag. Maybe hurrying to a photo shoot? I dunno. But anyways, I still don't believe it becuz it sounds so crazy. So I decided to honor him by digging out his brand-new album, Dove (鴿子), and posting it here from IMEEM. All the best to Aska!!!
